WELbeck {0687, 0688 [[image]] THE WALLACE COLLECTION MANCHESTER SQUARE LONDON, W.1. 12th February 1957 My dear Mr. Seligman, I feel that you will be pleased to know that through the kindness of various readers of my recent article in the Burlington Magazine, I have been able to trace all the tapestries sold by Sir Richard Wallace at Christie's in 1876. The set of rose-ground Don Quixotte panels forming lot 209 of the sale, are now in the Philadelphia Museum, and were presented by Mrs. Dixon, who was Mrs. Hamilton Rice's daughter. This means that lot 209 is there, lot 210 belongs either to Mrs. Hawkins or her step-mother, and lot 211 is, as I already knew, in the Wadsworth Atheneum at Hartford. I am very pleased to have been able to trace all these, and I again repeat how grateful I am to you for all your help. Eventually I shall send a note to the Burlington Magazine, following up the lat paragraph of my article. I wrote to Mrs. Hawkins in November last at the Reno address you gave me, but have had no answer as yet. If I do not hear in reasonable time, I will write to Mrs. Mackay in New York as you suggested. With kindest regards, Yours sincerely Robert A Cecil Mr. Germain Seligman, 5 East 57th Street, New York 22, N.Y.
